if the universe is in the shape of a ball...then wouldnt it be doing laps along its orbit when galaxys keep on expanding outwards, then wouldnt it have done at leasts 1 rotation of its orbit?

Seen as how I can't levitate, let alone fly off this chair, let's go with no.

I don't know, but I still get to decide where to go to lunch today so I'm going to focus on that.

I want a David Byrne suit.


Gonna watch the imbedded vid. I hope there is some discussion about relating this all back to computer themes just because that's where we are at this moment in history. Also some discussion about math and its limitations. Gotta discuss the core elements of how we model in order to even begin to approach this topic imo. I'm hoping its somewhere within the 2 hrs. If someone can guide me to specific points in the vid that would be nice. Seems we have this need to see physical phenomena cycling... Why is that I ask the board?

I have a feeling this might be a rough day and I won't get to watch this till late.

No sir.
